Magic shows are slite of hand, smoke and mirrors.

Supernatural movies are acting and special effects.

Both forms of entertainment has me wondering how they do that and ends up with me researching the tricks and/or effects.

For me, watching the show and quenching the curiosity is all part of the fun.
